Nannorrhops
Can anyone pass on advice for germinating Nanorrhops ritchiana, bag or pot method. I know I might have a very long wait. I have a small 6x6" reptile heat mat, would that do for the heat they require?
Re: Nannorrhops
I had some start germinating in damp vermiculite in a sealed bag, after a month or two with some bottom heat from a fluorescent light fixture. If I remember correctly, they put down some very deep roots so will need deep pots. Good luck.
Re: Nannorrhops
thanks, as I have 6 seeds, I'll do four in a vermiculite bag and two in small pots just to experiment.
Re: Nannorrhops
The bag method worked for me too. I gave away the one plant I kept last year. Still a small plant after 10 years

If they germinate, I'll probably be in a care home by the time any of them make a decent plant.

Re: Nannorrhops
i have tried these,a couple of times but with same results.for each new leaf,it takes so long to grow that 2 die thus not lasting very long

From my experience, Callum would be in a care home by the time they'd be a decent sizeClive60 wrote:If they germinate, I'll probably be in a care home by the time any of them make a decent plant.

I think the boot is on the other foot with this. Even the best care home for a Nanny will probably be not enough for its survival, so difficult are they

Perhaps I should sow some Phoenix Dactilifera, at least I could watch them grow!

Re: Nannorrhops
So Nannorrhops ritchiana is not that hardy in the UK or is it they need warmer summers to grow well?redsquirrel wrote:

Re: Nannorrhops
Mine didn't do too well when left out for a couple of summers and it was only just forming palmate leaves after 10 years from seed. I'm sure it wouldn't have come through a northern winter without heavy protection.
